guitar strings materials
Why do my new acoustic guitar strings sound so metallic?
I just replaced the strings on my acoustic guitar and the new ones have a metallic sound the resonates when I pick them. It is most noticable on the 5th and 6th. It sounds so harse. I don’t kow what kind I had on previously, because someoe else bought them for me. Other than the color coding on the ends the only thing that looks different is the color of the strings themselves the old ones were more of a copper color and the new ones are closer to a silver color. I don’t know if the old ones are that color because of age or a different material. The new strings are D’Addario EXP 80/20 bronze strings.
They are EXP12
Medium
String guage size between the two look to be the same.
They would each sound different if you got the barritone brand. What is the # after the exp? Just edit your question.
Well the only other thing it could be is that you were so used to the sound of the broken in strings that when you do change an acoustic the strings will sound very kinda twangy or metallic as you say. After you play them and let them stretch to tune they will sound better. I have an Ibanez acoustic myself and when I change mine I have a twang metalic sound for a few days. I hope this helps.
